apt-get purge xfce4-power-manager and rm ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml Leave off using the machine for a few hours (I'm not convinced the overnight aspect is of importance). Test. The screen should go blank after a while anyway. Or if it's a laptop, close its lid. Reinstall xfce4-power-manager and resist the temptation to alter its default settings. Test. I'd think letting the screen go to sleep would be a sufficient length of time to wait. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
